...provides GPS correction signals for what Mitchell calls his "most innovative work": real-time kinematics (RTK) nozzle control, which he helped develop for pesticides. Normally, when farmers spray their fields, they have to make several passes over the land to ensure every odd angle has been soaked. When they cross a waterway, they have to manually turn the sprayer off and on. "This is expensive and takes time," Mitchell says.
